MLB 2023

[Ricemagic]

There was talk last year that 2 west coast teams were gonna open the season in a 3 game series again here in Australia soon. They did it in 2014 with the Dodgers v Diamondbacks over 2 games at the SCG. Both games were sell outs. I was gonna go until I saw the price of the tickets. Insane.

Unless we are included as 'Asia', MLB probably won't be coming here I think the MLB last bargaining rights had an agreement with the players from 2022-2026 to do Puerto Rico, Mexico, Asia, and London, tours or exhibition games.

Found it -

Increase In Number Of International Exhibitions: The league and MLBPA agreed to play exhibitions or “tours” over the life of the new labor deal in the following countries:

• Mexico
• Asia
• Puerto Rico
• London
• Paris
• Dominican Republic

Many 2.05 to 2.15 games in Spring Training. Fans and media loving it.

Stolen base attempts up 40% already !

 

[Ricemagic]

What do you think of the bigger bases?

The bases going from 15- to 18-inch squares.

Less injuries. Easier to steal a base.

Amazing finish to the World Baseball Classic Final coming up. Ohtani pitching in the 9th for Japan to win in a huge upset over the cocky and highly fancied USA.

 

[Redford]

Bingo ! Japan beat USA !

 

[JoMamma]

Ohtani also had the highest exit velocity and tied for the fastest pitch and longest home run at the WBC.

This guy isn't human.

 

[Redford]

Suck *** USA !

This guy isn't human.

They call him ShoTme for a reason.

 

[Redford]

Reckon his next deal is gonna be close to $500m.

The Yankees are worth $6bn: why won’t they pay $9 for their players’ wifi?

The Bronx Bombers’ cheapness will be seen by many as another sign that the franchise remains trapped in the glory days of its past

Heh heh heh…The Stinkees.

That last pitch by Ohtani today was a beauty. Looked like an 87mph slider that moved from one side of the plate to the other. Trout had no idea.

Freak.

 

[Redford]

Ohtani is expected to earn approximately $65m USD in 2023. That’s around $100 million AUD.

I’ll say that again….$100 million for 2023.

Staggering.

Ohtani to make MLB-record $65 million in 2023

Shohei Ohtani is expected to make a record $65 million for the 2023 season including endorsements, according to Forbes, making the Angels' two-way standout MLB's highest-paid player.
